Application March 2, 1942, S nris saozsff 3 Claims. :(o1'.-1 5 128) iThi invention relates to improvements in bath and shampoo sprays. Oneobject is toprovide a liquid spray including a spray head that may be Jprovided with a massage brush that cooperates with the spray proper'inwashing the hair and i scalp and that is also ideal for body' massage ordevice that is shaped to snugly fit the hand ofthe operator and that inuse readily adapts itself 1) down. A further object is to, provide aspray adapted toreceive the terminal "flangej of said 'coupling, Thebase of the-ybell:shapedhead is wi'dened'somewhatto form th bufferrin'gtand along its i'nner wall it is formed'with an'annu'lar recess l adaptedto receivethe inwardly bent fiangeiof the spray disc '8 formed with aplurality'o-f small perforations 9 to spray the water.

The base of the bell is formed upon its lowermost face with. apl'uralityof bristles iii spaced apart and extending completel thereabout toform amassage brush. Inwashing or rinsing the hair this brush may serve tospread the hair topermit freer access of the water .to the scalp andrtothe inner ends of the strands of hair.

the invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts to behereinafter fully described, pointed out in the claims and illustratedin the accompanying drawing, and in which- Fig.1. is a top plan view ofa spray head constructed according to the present invention.

Fig. 2 is an inverted plan view of Fig. 1, the perforated disc beingomitted.

Fig. 3 is a central vertical sectional view throughFig. 1 taken on theline 33 thereof and showing the perforated disc.-

Fig. 41s a view similar to Fig. 3, but of a slightly modified form ofspray head.

Fig. 5 is a view in elevation of a further slightly modified form ofspray head.

Fig. 6 is a central vertical sectional view.

through Fig, 5 taken on theline' 6-5. d

Fig. '7 is a vview similar to Fig. 4 but. of a further slightly modifiedform of the device,

' and,

Figs; 3 and 9 are fragmentary sectionalviews illustrating further slightstructural modifications.

Litre reference-characters denote corresponding parts throughout theseveralviews.

Referring now to Figs. '1, 2 and 3 of the drawing, thespray headincludes a substantially bell shaped resilient or all rubber head i, thecrown or topmost portion thereof being materially thickened and havingaperforation 4 to receive the coupling 2 for the rubber tube (not shown),

said crown being formed alsowith the annular recess 3 opening into saidperforation and Extending radially from the central perforation 4 almostor quite to the recess! are, the

spaced ribs I I of material depth, the lowermost tread face of each ribclearly shownin Fig. 2 1 being somewhat rounded and smooth, said ribsterminating contiguous to said disc 8. The ribs H materially strengthenthe head and prevent its collapse or expansion whenpressure is appliedto the crown thereof. When external pres sure is applied the head may bemoved inwardly but slightly when the-ribswill ride against the disc 8which action will efi'ectually prevent distortion. Inassemblingthe-spray head at the factory the disc 8 is introduced intothe. head as the latter is spread at its mouth mechanically,

as by a jig, the disc coming in contact with-the ribs and being-moved orslid thereby into engaging position with the head recess L' It will benoted that the wall of the base of the head is of material thicknesstopermit it to resist pressure without losing its shape when grippedfirmly; Referring now to Fig. 4 the head is provided with a centralperforation through which the coupling 20. extends, the terminal flange511 being, disposed inside the head about said perforation. This head isformed with a' smooth inner wall without ribs. Referring now to Figs. 5and 6 the head lb terminates in an annular flange or shield l2 disposedin advance of or below the disc 8 tov prevent lateral splash of thespray in using the spray head.

Referring now toFig. '7 the rubber head lc snugly receives and carriesa' non-rubber hollow j bod l3 formed-with a stern .14 that extendsthrough thehead crown to receive the rubber tube, saidnon-rubber bodybeing formed also with an annular rib l5 that seats in the recess Ia Iof said rubber head, the base of said body being .1 formed withperforations to spray the fluid, said al1 rubber head being providedupon its base with bristles l0 disposed outwardly or below and aboutsaid perforated body base.

j Referring now to Fig. 8 the all rubber head id is formed with an innerannular shoulder I6 upon which thefperforated disc 8 is received, saiddisc fitting. snugly within the head upon said shoulder and by saidresilient head being frictionally retained in this operative'position.The head id .is formed with bristles l0 upon the lower face of its base,saidbristles being spaced about and in'lower spacedrelation; tosaid'disc. Referring now to Fig. 9 the alllrubber head is V is formedwith an inner annular shoulder l6 and thereabove with ribs II thatextend from the crown of said head almost but not-quite to said shoulder16 so that a space is provided between said shoulder and each ribwherein said," disc 'flange is received and frictionally retained.

The novel features and the operations of this device .will be apparentfrom the foregoing de- 2. In a' liquid spray device, a bell-shaped headformed of rubber'or sirnilar material having a small perforation in its,crown anda recess registering with'isaidperforation "to receive aflanged coupling; a perforated disc carried by said head, bristlesintegral with said head disposed about said disc in a plane parallel toand beyond said disc, and spaced'ribs having narrow .smooth treadsrunning from said crown perforation to said disc;

V3.'In a liquid spray device, aresilient bell scription. While thedevice has been shown and V the structure described in detail it isobvious that this is not to be considered limited to the exact formdisclosed and that changes may be made therein within the scope of;whatis claimed .stfithout departing from the. spirit of the in veri ion.

, Whatisclaimed v shaped head," an annular shoulder formed inwardly ofsaid head, spaced ribs in said head terminating contiguous to saidshoulder, a perforated disc having a era-extensive peripheral flange'received andfrictionally retained between said shoulder ,and ribs, andbristles integral with 'sa idhead disposed about said disc in a planeparallel to andbeyondsaid disc. 1
